Having failed miserably to make Turin in the Gamma and had to travel in an Alfa instead I'm keen to get the Gamma ready for the AGM on 24th September. The problem that stopped us getting to Turin has been fixed (a suspension strut failed but this has been replaced), however I have an engine problem that is really frustrating. The car starts fine and will tick over nicely, and it drives OK until temperature gets up to normal but then it starts to loose power and eventually stops. Left 10 minutes to cool down it then starts and drives OK until again up to temperature and stops again. The ignition circuit is fine (garage checked) and I've had the injectors refurbished and a new fuel pump and filter fitted so I don't think there are any problems there. I've also run without the cold start valve connected and changed the air flow meter and supplemental air valve but the problem persists. My next tack is to swap the injection temperature sensor but after that I can't think what else there is to change! Any ideas welcome. Thanks. Ian Powis
